Office: iPhone?

Yes, the iPhone can read Word, Excel, Numbers and Pages documents, but I think Microsoft may have actually had a good idea: PowerPoint on the iPhone. However, I would have implemented it a little differently; specifically waiting for the SDK and enabling using the iPhone as a bluetooth remote for PowerPoint presentations. See the current slide on your iPhone, then swipe to go forward or back, and tap to render animations. The current solution from Microsoft is to export pictures of the slides to iPhoto and then Sync to the iPhone. A creative stopgap, but this appears to only be good for showing your co-worker the slides you just prepared, not giving a presentation. It doe not build animations, does not do links, does not do transitions, does not do anything besides present pictures of pictures, graphs and text, most likely too small to be legible. If I want to present picture on the desktop I use iPhoto. The iPhone is not a presentation device. It is a viewing device. You can view movies, photos, and web pages; but not change them ('cept for web pages with forms, and even then it's pretty awkward). So, congrats, your iPhone now doubles as notecards to practice your speech with, except if you are practicing your speech reading what's on the slides, that's going to be a pretty horrible speech.

I think that while iPhone syncing is a good idea, it lacks clarity of purpose or practicality. Microsoft is known for "enterprise" software, selling mass licenses of Windows to corporations. What an enterprising idea to have a purpose that will hinder enterprises rather than benefit them.
